"Rules on the Run" are principles of trail running etiquette that foster environmentally-sound and socially-responsible trail running.

Stay on the Trail
A well-marked trail already exists; they are not made on the day you head out for a run. Do not create new trails that increase footprints on the environment.

Run Over Obstacles
Run single file in the middle of the trail the best you can, even when laden with a fresh blanket of snow or muddy. Go through puddles and not around them as we do not want the trail widened or eroded. Use caution when going over obstacles and uneven ground.

Respect Animals
Do not disturb or harass wildlife. Please, no pets allowed at the Nature Center.

Be Friendly
Give an audible announcement that you are passing on the left. Be ready to yield to others that might be passing you on the trail.

Safety
We suggest that participants refrain from using Ipods/headphones in the race for safety reasons. A first aid station will be set up at the end of the race and volunteers will be around the course to assist you if needed.

Do not litter.
Pack out everything you started the race with. Recycle and trash bins will be scattered around the area.

Water/Refreshments:
There will be water available before and after the race. Refreshments will be offered following the race.

Inclement weather.
The race will be held in rain, sleet or snow. Only lightning will delay the race.

Donations
